to TS, i support you all the way! yeah, i must say SAF is wrong
this time since you have a very valid and important reason.
make sure you deal with the people in your unit and not some HQ
or CMPB whatever, because your unit will care more and you can deal
with them on a more personal level.
KNN.......people need to give very important presentation in
China due to absolutely valid work committments and reasons, people
need to make clients happy in order to answer to the big
boss.......and these guys still ask him to re-service NS?
seriously, SAF needs to be flexible a bit......if TS fail to get
deferment and can't go China for business purposes, then his career
and future more or less will be influenced.
maybe TS's company might even hire foreign talent to fill in the
space since FTs don't need to do any re-service.
and if TS's rice bowl is affected, what then? claim job-loss
compensation from MID, maybe? SAF will feed him till he finds
another job?
also ar, TS......worse come worse, try writing to Straits Times
Forum deparment about your case and ley everyone know. Then, maybe
you can get a good reply from COL Bernard Lim (forgot the name, but
he's the director in charge of the Mindef public affairs, i
think).
